WAS l more convinced OF the truth
OF this than during a recent visit to
the Department of State in its new pa
latial quarters. The courteous diplo-
matte stamp is impressed upon ali lis
employees, from its head, the Secretary
of State, to the minor department
clerk, and it is even noticeable in the
way directions and information are
given by the ushers in the anterooms
and corridors.

FOOT YOUR OWN HORN.

Here's something that is worth cOnsid-
ering. 1t is worth reading and remember
ing, and we hope that every Dodge City
man will take the remarks of the writer
as if intended for him, and act on the
suggestions made. Read it:
If you want your town to improve,
improve it. If you want to make YOU
town lively make it. Don't go to sleep,
but get up and work for it. Push Get
in. Advertise it. Talk about it, and talk
favorably. If you have any property,
improve it. Paint your house; clean up
your back yards Make your surround
ings pleasant, and you will feel better and
your property will be worth more dollars
in the market. If you are doing reason
ably well, advise your far away friends to
come and invest near you. Work stead
lily for your home place and home inter-
ests. Trade at home, help your home
dealers. Keep your money at home as
much as possible, and it is likely to help
you in return. The successful towns of
Kansas have been made successful by the
property owners pulling together. Pub
lie improvement is an investment that
pays Don't waste your time over some
dirty neighborhood quarrel, and hold
back your aid from some good object
through spite, but work for some good,
and you will find yourself benefited. Get
at it. Wake up. Rustic. There is no
time to be lost, and every little helps
loot your horn and toot it loud.

OUR LOCAL RAILROADS.

Dodge City will reap some advantages
from the projected railroads in the west
ern part of the state, and earnestly
our citizens are cooperating with the
citizens of other towns in order to carry
out the projects designed. Besides the
road to run southwest. and the one to run
to the southeast, it is in contemplation
the building of railroad from Dodge
City to Englewood, and south of that
point, touching the towns of Appleton
and Cash City The citizens of the towns
have appointed committees to confer with
a similar committee at Dodge City, and
these committees will determine upon a
plan by which a railroad can be obtained
The projects under contemplation are all
feasible, and with the cooperation of the
interested parties the speedy results will
be obtained.
Wilbum is growing town on the south
line of the county, and is wishing to form
an alliance with Dodge City Our cit
liens must not lose sight of the fact that
Wilburn is an important factor in county
affairs, and the committee whose business
it is to make the preliminaries will no
doubt find it advantageous to confer with
our neighbOring town.

LAND OFFICE DECISIONS

Geo. r. Sherman. of Ford county, wrote
TO the Commissioner of the General Land
Office. asking these questions:
Can person, who has committed a
homestead, take presumption?
Can a person who has taken home
stead, and sold it, take pre-emptlon!
Commissioner Sparks replies as follows:
Replying to yours of March 10, 1887,
YOU are advised that the fact that one has
committed a homestead entry, will not
inhibit such party from making pre-
cmption entry for other land, provided he
does not own 800 acres of land, or remove
from "land of his own" to make settle
ment. etc. This answers both of your
questions.
Another decision of a similar character
comes from the General Land Office, as
follows: I'm the eXparte case OF Todd
Knopple, on appeal from the decision OF
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, sustaining the decision of the To-
cal land Office at Lamar, Col, Acting
Secretary Muldrow holds that qualified
re-emptor who has exercised the right OF
filing and perfecting an entry on the
Usage trust and diminished reserved
lands in Kansas, under the act of May %,
1890. has exhausted his pre- emption right
to all other lands This aflirms the pre-
viOus decisions
Robt. f. Hall, of Mullinville. has re-
ceived the following from s. NJ. Stock
slayer. assistant commissioner, dated
March 18th:
In reply to your letter of February 20,
1887, YOU are advised that six months
continuous residence next preceding date
of application to enter is not an essential
requirement of an applicant to enter
Usage Indian lands in Kansas. If, as you
state, you are actually residing on tract
of this class of lands. you can immediate
ly give notice by publication Of your in
tention to make proof. No specified
amount of Improvements is required, the
only conditions and qualifications neces-
sary are that the applicant shall be a
qualified preemptor, and an actual set
tier on the land
A filing for this class Of lands, if init
ated subsequent to May 8, 1872, exhausts
all right under the pre- emption law, but
does not affect the right of a party to
make a homestead entry and commute the
same to cash

NO ABATEMENT
To the Tide of
immigration.

The Land Buyers Guide says there will be lit
tie abatement 10 the tide Of immigration to the
West when spring opens. This tide has been
very remarkable within the past few years, being
the means Of transforming heretofore consider
able desert waste into millions of habitahle and
no one can tell We are certain that the great
march Of the home-seekere is not yet over-in fact
as applied to this and the Rocky mountains, has
just fairly begun. There are, as rule, but a few
of the first settlers after the first ten or dozen
years of settlement Others coming in with Il
little ready money enabled in few years to
effect great change in the displacement of the
original settlers. For the latter having, in mea-
sure. secured their price, generally ready to
try it further on, or else 90 back East TO exc ont
an existence no one knows how A small mum
ber however. do well by remaining III the vicinity
and engaging in some other business for which
they are better adapted than that of farming But
those having previous healthy agricultural train
ing and have made it point to stay by their
land, will be found holding their original home
stead many years after pioneer neighbors have
sold out and gone. They are usually in good cir
cumstances, Or become so in time Land is de
sirablc property, for the that will not burn
nor otherwise be liable to DC destroyed, like most
other possessions, and as rule is constantly in
creasing in value. Every man that is in any sense
farmer, should endeavor to be the owr.r of :,
piece of land, even though it be small.
